I have recently proposed the creation of a community-based openSUSE testing team, and prepared a short presentation to illustrate what are, in my opinion, the current situation and some of the problems, looking at how these could be fixed. My proposal came probably a bit late, because during the openSUSE 11.1 development phase, some step in the creation of a testing group was done, and I did not know of it. In particular, I would like to sum up the efforts already done:
- Testing wiki page.
- OpenSUSE testing mailing list: opensuse-testing@opensuse.org. Email here to subscribe.
- IRC channel: #opensuse-testing on Freenode servers.
The idea of creating the testing team has been positively commented during the discussion on the mailing list, and is considered a good move to improve openSUSE quality and possibly involve more people in the community. So, if you want to learn something about testing openSUSE, and help in making it better, feel free to join!
